How do I obtain a labor certification?

In Kansas, obtaining a labor certification is a multi-step process for employers who are looking to hire non-U.S. citizens. To begin, an employer must demonstrate to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) that a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident is not available to fill the position. The employer must also show that any wages and working conditions they are offering for the position are fair and competitive. These conditions must meet the standards set by the DOL for this type of work in the area. Next, the employer must submit a Labor Certification Application (LCA) through the DOL’s electronic PERM system. This document will provide details about the job duties, qualifications needed for the position, and the wages and working conditions offered. This information will be reviewed by the DOL. If the DOL approves the LCA, it will issue a labor certification. Finally, the employer must submit the approved labor certification and any other necessary paperwork to USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) in order to obtain an employment visa for the non-U.S. citizen. If the necessary requirements are met, USCIS will issue the employment visa, and the employer can then hire the non-U.S. citizen. The labor certification process can be complicated and time-consuming, so employers should plan accordingly and seek out the help of a qualified immigration attorney to help with the process.

Para obtener una certificación laboral en Kansas, primero debe determinar si califica para una excepción o para un trabajo no regulado. Si califica para una excepción, esto significa que el trabajo puede ser completado sin tener que obtener una certificación laboral. Si el trabajo no está regulado, entonces no hay necesidad de obtener una certificación laboral. En caso de no calificar para una excepción o un trabajo no regulado, entonces debe presentar una solicitud de certificación laboral ante el Departamento de Trabajo de los Estados Unidos. Esto es un proceso en línea, en el que se debe llenar una solicitud y pagar la tarifa. Además, la empresa debe proporcionar varios documentos que prueben que fue imposible contratar personal local para completar el trabajo. Una vez presentada la solicitud, el Departamento de Trabajo de los Estados Unidos la revisará. Después de aprobar la solicitud, se emitirá una certificación laboral a la empresa. Esto significa que son libres de contratar a un trabajador extranjero para completar el trabajo.
